Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 16.

Tennessee HB1353 amends existing law regarding the offense of retaliation for past actions by broadening the definition of individuals involved in the judicial process to include additional roles and their family members, specifically adding stepchildren. The bill establishes that a person commits a Class E felony if they harm or threaten to harm these individuals with the intent to impede, intimidate, or retaliate against them in connection with their judicial participation. Key changes include the revised definition of "individual involved in the judicial process" and the inclusion of former judicial and law enforcement roles.
